2024 YWCA Community Baseline

Welcome

Young Women and Sex/Gender Diverse People Community Baseline

Kia ora! Thanks for adding your voice to the Young Women and Sex/Gender Diverse People Community Baseline in Waikato, brought to you by YWCA and independent measurement experts Huber Social.

Kia ora! Nga mihi mo te taapiri i to reo ki te Rangatahi Wahine me nga Tangata Kore-rua Hapori i Waikato, na YWCA me nga tohunga ine motuhake a Huber Social i kawe mai ki a koe.

By telling us what you think, this info will help decision makers at all levels make important decisions based on what really matters to you and the lives of young women and sex/gender diverse people.
We’re asking women and sex/gender diverse people in the Waikato aged 16-35 to complete a short, anonymous survey. The survey will ask you to reflect on your overall wellbeing. It should take about 10-15 minutes to complete, and we would be grateful for your input.
Plus, for the first 500 entries, you have the opportunity to win one of 20 $25 gift cards – that means one in every 25 wins!

A few things before we get started...
